I'd like to see more of Ausar. He had a rough 1st quarter but he made some big plays early in the 2nd. Should put him out there to close the half

A massive island-wide blackout hit Puerto Rico on Wednesday. All 1.4 million households on the island were affected, and most remain without power. Puerto Rico's power grid has gotten much worse since it was privatized and sold to LUMA energy.

Another story that should make people ask:
If a literal foreign agent had taken control of the US government, what would they do differently from what the Trump administration is currently doing?
We don't need to engage in conspiratorial guessing about his motives to notice his impact.

SCOOP: sources tell me that the State Dept plans to eliminate its only office to counter foreign disinformation, as soon as today, delivering a win to foreign governments like Russia, Iran, and China—and the office's mostly conservative critics.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president
Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

NBA failed with this. They wanted the players to take it serious but now it looks like the league is treating the game as a joke and an afterthought. The format actually isn't bad, but the games should be to at least 60 and we don't need 5 halftime shows

This is horseshit. If you fear protests will lead to martial law then you already live under martial law — and you’re the one who declared it.
Plus, it *won’t* lead to a declaration of martial law and the fear misconstrues the nature of the threats we face.
